Move nodes to their installation locations as long as the green LED is flashing.
Pay attention to the LEDs while moving the nodes to ensure the signal isn't lost.
After 10 minutes, the LEDs on the nodes will stop indicating their status in order
to conserve batteries. Pressing the Status button on a node will reactivate the
LEDs for another 10 minutes.
The default time a network will remain in Deployment mode is one hour. When a
new node joins the network the timer will reset, extending the deployment
period for another hour. If more time is needed while deploying nodes, the
default deployment timeout may be changed using Agent software.
The network will not begin collecting data until the network
time is set. To do this, use the Agent software (or other Modbus
master). The default scan interval for data collection is 10
minutes.
If isolated from the rest of the network, a node will continue to sample and store
data. When communication is reestablished, it will "catch up" by sending all of
the collected data to the supervisor.

3.8 STATUS BUTTON FUNCTIONALITY

All GeoNet devices have red and green LED indicators to display their status. A
reference key is printed on the side of each unit, below the LEDs. When pressed,
the Status button triggers the appropriate LED indicators to briefly illuminate.
Table 6 shows the meaning of the various LED indications.
Note: When used in a sensemetrics network, see Section 6 for the meaning of
the LED indications.

TABLE 6: LED Indicator Meaning

When the Status button is pressed on the supervisor the current status of the
network will be displayed briefly by the LEDs. If the network is in Deployment
mode when the button is pressed, the Deployment mode timer will reset. If the
network is not in Deployment mode, it will enter Deployment mode on the
following radio cycle. This could take up to six minutes, as changes to the radio
settings can only occur when all the radios in the network are awake. In order to
